What this housing is — and what it is not
The Molex 5056050800 is the 8-circuit dual-row receptacle housing from the CP-3.3 505605 series, designed for free-hanging (in-line) wire-to-wire or wire-to-board harness applications. What this part is not: a complete connector. The note on the line is explicit — contacts are not included. You order the housing and the crimp terminals separately.
Sourcing the housing — and the terminals
That means normal supply — no last-time-buy deadline, no broker scramble. The terminals that fit this housing are the CP-3.3 female socket contacts (Molex series 505605, crimp termination). No official cross-reference or second-source exists on record, so the AVL stays with the CP-3.3 family.
Mating half and harness assembly
The latch holder on the receptacle engages the latch on the plug for a positive lock — no secondary retention device needed for most applications. The housing accepts the terminal from the rear; removal requires a proper extraction tool to depress the tang. The natural PBT colour is the standard unkeyed version — no colour coding for circuit identification, so use wire markers or cavity plugs if polarity matters.
